Do you want freedom from frizz? ➡ bit.ly/freedomfromfrizz

[@brielleyoung6936]

Your hair is always soooo shiny and silky and not frizzy at all. Even when you say it’s bad it’s beautiful.... my hair is ALWAYS frizzy, messy, dull. Every product I’ve tried never works. I’m so discouraged and just want hair like yours !!

[@sanorris08]

Brielle Young I totally agree with you!

[@juanavacollins7093]

Brielle Young Maybe it’s your diet?

[@omasrosebud]

Same here...and if I use enough product to tame the frizz it's too much and then it's weighed down and I have to wash after 2 or 3 days. I feel your pain!

[@eunnikins]

I think her hair is just lower porosity and fine, as well as a loose curl pattern, which makes it tend more towards that mirror shine. her water could be softer as well. people with higher porosity/coarse hair who may have harder water will have to focus more on doing ACV rinses and getting enough hydration and moisture. using a brush to style while it's *wet* has helped me with frizz and definition as well.

[@eunnikins]

and don't forget a ring light or a flash picture can make hair look extra shiny, her hair in sunlight or indoor lighting probably looks much lower contrast and dull (but still amazing I'm sure)

[@esaladyflaca]

For your refresh spray try adding Cantu curl activator cream to a spray bottle with water. Just play with the amounts you add to the water cuz to much can be to heavy depending on hair type. This also works great as a detangler.

I haven't started CG so I've just been pouring over the internet collecting research for when I can afford to buy my first CG-friendly set and all of your videos have been amazing!! I especially love the way you talk to your hair. Like you treat it kinda like its own person, almost like a friend, and I really love that! You're critical and honest but also kind and you always use humor and it's so refreshing. Like it's not a beast you're taming, it's a pal you're helping but you recognize that it does its own thing and I really love it!

[@calina6120]

Thank you so much Courtney for all you do!! I’m 16 years old and we have the exact same hair color and curl pattern (and we both live in Texas) and you have helped me through every step of my journey❤️ Thank you, we love you!!!

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

Calina George Heyyyu Texas girls unite! 🤚🏻

[@sewagg]

Yep, I recognized your accent and bouncy personality as pure Texan right away! Our Texas weather adds an extra challenge for we curly girls, but these Cantu products are my faves...they work wonders! I have fine, thick, 3B, 3C curls. I use the Define & Shine Custard (basically, gel in a jar) instead of the glue gel. The custard has that weird thick sticky feel too, but the cast is softer and most of it breaks up overnight as long as I don't use too much. Next morning I take my pineapple down, leave my hair alone for a bit and it usually falls into place. Occasionally I might have to do a little root shake/fluff but that's it.

[@LoverOfJesusGirl]

[@ADayInTheLifeofMrsPerkins]

I've tried several different kinds of products from expensive to cheap... This CANTU line is one I keep coming back too.. I haven't seen that hair" goop"... What I use is twist/lock gel.. After the curl enhancer. I go 3 days w.out washing (I have MS so I'm not very active) To refresh I use water and their curl comeback/refresh spray.. I never realized how wavy my hair was on its own. I used to get perms(80s) then tried the straight look.. I'm glad I found your channel, I have learned a lot..

[@TheNomeinator]

I have watched a good few of your videos - this is the best I have seen your hair looking!! Very nice!! ☺️

[@mrscouts07]

The Cantu is one of my favorite conditioners! My husband bought it for himself and I LOVE IT. The Curl Activator is way too heavy and thick for my hair, but man, that conditioner. It smells divine too!

I love Cantu products!! I have 2b/2c curls and it helps keep my curls in for a 2-3 days. I also use the curl activator spray, if I see that my curls need a bit of help get back in form. I bought my niece the Cantu kids products and her hair curls look amazing.

[@dgurley61]

I’ve been watching Courtney since the first of the year (2020) when I started the CGM. I’ve turned into a product junky. But I just tried the Cantu products and low and behold I think I’ve finally got the shine and swing, at least today. It’s the new avacado product. I think my hair is somewhat like Courtney’s, only I have left over color and a loose perm from a year ago. But today I can see results of the CGM. I don’t follow the CGM all the way. I can’t keep from running a wide tooth comb through my hair. But today I haven’t grabbed a comb (yet), yay!!!

[@madame33licious]

I LOVE the Cantu conditioner !! It has GREAT slip and smells so good. My nieces hair is super curly and it makes her curls SO defined

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

It's so good!

[@marcyaustin7254]

It definitely held your curls up! I bet if u used the same mixture with the curl cream and gel in your water bottle it would be a great refresher! I’m gonna make that concoction with my Noghty curl cream and my DIY flax seed gel!

[@biancajingles2690]

I love Cantu! Their products work well, especially the conditioner, and are easy on the wallet! I haven’t tried that gel yet and I want one with a stronger hold so I might have to try it! You’re right that the cast is pretty light. Sometimes I just move my head around a bit and it loosens it just fine without needing to scrunch 😊

[@sadiemcc9363]

Yes! The curl activator cream is the best!! It always gives me the best curl enhancement (as I see it's done for you)! And I'm glad to hear the shampoo is good--I've always been afraid it wouldn't agree with me and would be too moisturizing.

[@miracle.edits.lyngdoh]

I have seen that if I don't use the curl activator my hair become really dry & some are straight hairs , so I just cannot live without it. It brings life & moisture to my hair😊

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

That is awesome! Yeah the shampoo airs on the stripping side rather than the moisturizing side. It’s not stripping stripping though. Haha I hope that makes sense! Lol

[@puggirl415]

Cantu curl activator cream was one of the first products I bought. I loved it in the beginning because my hair was heat damaged and dry and I got great results with soft shiny curls and good clumping. But with time my hair became over moisturized and kind of heavy and the results started looking greasy even on the first day. After the initial moisture needs from damage I found that I really couldn't use the Cantu on my fine 2c/3a curls. They just couldn't stand up to such a heavy product. I would try that gel though just because I think it's a great brand for curly girls. Wavy girls have to be careful not to weigh our curls down.

[@melissaalexandra456]

Sounds like I have a similar hair type to you. I found the curl cream a little too heavy but try out the Cantu wave whip curling mousse followed by a gel. Highly recommend!

[@elyahnn]

Cantu is really bad, it damages your hair.

[@thatcatholicghost7389]

Maybe it would work if you balance it out with enough protein and clarify regularly? I've been wondering the same thing, but I think the problem's not Cantu but rather that my hair needs more protein ...

[@lacigarcia8946]

I'm so shocked at how pretty your hair turned out! I didn't think the Cantu products worked so well for wavy-curly hair. Thank you for trying out these products!

[@JanieDuVall]

[@denise7654]

Hi, I am in the transition phase and I have similar curl pattern as you. I notice the Cantu curl activator cream works better on towel dried hair and not on dripping wet hair, my curls really pop that way. Also diffusing is a must for my hair type.

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

Denise Barnett oh how interesting!

[@kimberleyhall5291]

I'm going to try this, because when I use the activator and as much as I squish I can see the product on my hair when it's wet, even though I have high porosity hair.

[@cookbookworm]

I literally just did this after co-washing my hair this morning! I'm really impressed so far. Just the cream gave me a pretty good cast!

I think that is the best I have ever seen your hair. It looks so very good! I haven't used the Cantu shampoo and conditioner but I absolutely love the curl activator cream. It is one of my favorite products. I don't usually get a cast either so I may have to try that gel. As always, thanks for videos. You are such a pleasure to watch.

[@livefreeinhim]

I get a cast with the curl activator cream, but I apply it to damp/almost dripping hair. I find that when I apply product to soaking wet hair and then scrunch, it takes out some of the product.... So I scrunch after I condition and then apply the styling product.

last night I was so frustrated. I have been trying the cgm for a couple of weeks now (I haven't been using sulfates on my hair in a while; it actually turned out that my fav shampoo was curly girl friendly!) and yesterday it was terrible. my hair took forever to dry even with diffusing I know you've said to not use heat on your hair when you first start the cgm but tbh I didn't use heat on my hair before, my hair isn't dyed, and my shampoos were sulfate-free) and my hair looked straighter than it ever looked before. defeated, I went to youtube to solve my problems and I found your channel. your hair seems very similar to mine. I watched a couple of your videos last night, soaking up every bit of information I could. I tried them this morning and they definitely helped! I don't think I nailed it perfectly yet but I'm sure I will with time. I'm definitely gonna keep watching your videos and keep trying! I have a question. you mentioned in a video that you don't co-wash because you have fine hair. but how does one know if co-washing is good for them or not? in general, for the first couple of months, you can expect one's hair to look shitty, but how does one know if it's because of co-washing (I guess that same question can be posed to any product)? I'm still trying to determine for myself if I should co-wash but I'm not sure how to tell if my hair likes it. when you first tried the cgm did you try co-washing?

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

Emily Lerman So the reason I don’t co wash all the time is I found it weighed down my hair and made my scalp itchy if I did it too many times in a row. Hope that helps! You’ve got this! I know this is hard but it is totally worth it.

[@emilylerman9028]

@@SwavyCurlyCourtney That makes sense. I was co-washing and the first couple of days I liked it. I noticed that my day 3 hair was a little greasier than normal but thought nothing of it. Then yesterday I co-washed and thought I scrubbed my scalp pretty well and my hair just felt gross and weighed down. I'll probably end up co-washing in between washes maybe?

Rebecca Roades it’s happening to me too 😭 I’m 44 and personally I think it’s an age thing. So currently I’m massaging upside down and tapping my scalp daily for blood flow. I’m also using a derma roller twice a month on certain areas, and focussing on my multi vitamins, omega 3s and B vitamins to see if I can slow down the shedding. I never thought I would shed this much but it’s also important to consider hair growth cycles and that plays a part as well.

I am a newbie to "natural hair" I've just discovered my waves (2b) & I am so excited to see if I actually have more curls going on than I am aware of, so many new products to try! I haven't tried gels because I am terrified of them LOL!! My texture looks similar to yours (fine/medium strands but overall thick hair) I like to brush oil through the length of my hair at night & I am afraid that I won't be able to do that If I use any gel product. Once you break up the cast is your soft enough to gently brush if you wanted to? I am thinking of trying the NYM Curl Talk gel since you say it's a medium hold. My curls have never clumped but it's wash day & I have new products & new techniques -THANKS to YOU=) Also IF I wanted to curl my 2nd or 3rd-day hair with a curling iron- If I had used gel the previous wash day, then I definitely should NOT curl with heat right???

Your hair is literally gorgeous

YOU are literally gorgeous

[@grandmaazzy999]

That looks amazing! My hair is super similar to yours except i experienced some hair loss and im always afraid of feeding too much product into my hair because of oil. Its cool to see how you do it

[@kathieb2354]

kind of very much impressed by how HEALTHY your hair looks

[@kaylachap10]

Your hair is GORGEOUS! It looks so healthy!

I found the shampoo and conditioner left my hair feeling rough and somewhat like straw. But, my finished hair turned out fine. You should have tried the cantu come back spray. I find it a nice refresher if sprayed on wet hands then scrunched in or diluted pretty well in a sprayer and spray on and scrunch for a really nice refresher. This product is way to strong applied straight.

i put a lil bit of cantu curl activator cream into a spray bottle with water and use that as a refresher spray💞

We have matching names and the same hair type. Is this fate?! 😲 Finally a KZbinr with my hair type to get tips from 🙌🏻

Courtney has 2C waves

[@wandygonzalez8078]

You have beautiful healthy hair. Do you sleep with a bonnet?? I started wearing one and omg I love it. It helps my hair not get frizzy or too flat.

[@lizzymier]

Here's me learning that I've been using the curl activator cream all wrong hahaha

[@SM-hl6hh]

right?! I was putting in my half dry hair by the POUND

[@MsLotusBlooms]

Looks amazing , so pretty! I've encountered white people with curly hair who use products tailored for black hair and it seems to work really well for smoothness and control. I guess its that potent moistutizing that hits the spot.

[@TheDolphace]

White curly hair products suuuuck if you have really thick, corse hair. Just frizz everywhere!

[@rawaf2009]

That's the most beautiful hair I have ever seen

[@tibgeeks]

I loved how this shampoo & conditioner made my hair very shiny and much less frizzy. But why did it weigh my waves down?? Yet I can use the curl activator cream and shine & define custard. So confusing!

[@Attirbful]

Your hair looks amazing! I have used all of these products, but will now try to get my hands on the gel, too. Thanks for trying this. My hair loves Cantu!

[@michellechristenbury2470]

I am currently using the products from Cantu. I have not tried the gel because I typically don’t care for the feel of a gel. Anyway, I’ve been seeing a lot of ads for Ecoslay and TréLuxe. For (multiple days of) definition, hold and frizz control, which would you more highly recommend?

[@luv3911]

I love cantu I have the shampoo and the leave in conditioner thingy , I’ve used it 3 times!:).

[@SleepyMamaBear-]

I have a question since i have almost the same curltype as you do (actually mostly 2C): Do you brush your hair dry the days after washday? And if so: how do you keep it as shiny? Because when i do that it gets frizzy but if i don't my hair looks messy, and refreshing like most curly girls do takes too much time for me.

[@whiteedk]

I just started using these products( not the gel though, I think I need to get that) and my hair really loves it! I usually only uses the low poo, conditioner and the curl activator and it is so good. I even get a great cast just my using the curl activator and no gel at all

[@kdseim]

Did you add any other products? Or did you just plop and then diffuse? and would you use these products again? Thanks!!

[@brendahicks1686]

Wow!!! That makes me want to go out and get all of those products. Your hair is so curly and perfect!

[@ashleyparisian4671]

I love you're one brand wash day videos! Can you do one with Raw Curls?? I have 2 of their products and so far loving them! Their anti-frizz spray works as a refresh spray also seems to reactivate my curls really well!

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

I have tried raw curls before. I actually had a really bad experience with their customer service and ordering the products. When I finally did get the products to try, they worked OK on my hair but weren’t absolutely magical. Not impressive enough for me to want to go through the process of re-purchasing.

[@ashleyparisian4671]

@@SwavyCurlyCourtney I am sorry that happened! I don't blame you for not wanting to try them again! Thank you so much for all your awesome videos, I think I have watched them all and my hair has totally transformed from wavy to having ringlets and getting better all the time! You are AMAZING!!

[@im_so_bored3896]

i been trying the curly girl stuff for about a few weeks and i think i'm just being delusional. if i don't blowdry my hair is messy and limp. and if i blow dry it turns out mostly straight with a few strands 2a texture. idk i might not even have a wave pattern. my hair is similar to yours, fine, blonde, but not very shiny like yours and not very frizzy. but i do have a bit of frizz on the ends where the hair is most damaged. i tried scrunching a gel and i looked crazy, like homeless crazy. idk if i put my hair in a bun overnight it turns out nice and vaguely wavy. what made me think i have a wave pattern is that my hair always holds the wave that i get after i use the bun technique - without gel or wave spray - but it is a loose wave.

[@kimberann5982]

Wow you need to use these products more they really worked so well with your hair

[@Earthangel793]

Your hair is beautiful. I have either 2a or 2b hair. I'm not sure. I just used the activator cream. I need to learn to use it correctly. Thanks for the vid.

[@kendraluful]

I have used Cantu forever and love it!
